Review of evidences on carcinogenicity of glyphosate used by International Agency for Research on Cancer and US Environmental Protection Agency
-
Abstract
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) issued an assessment report in March 2015 that listed glyphosate as a "2A" carcinogen, and triggered a controversy over whether glyphosate was carcinogenic. After that US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a report on carcinogenic evaluation of glyphosate with a conclusion that glyphosate was "unlike to cause cancer". In view of the constant attention to glyphosate safety, this article summarized the research data used by IARC and EPA in their evaluation reports, including human epidemiological studies, animal experiments, and other carcinogenic evidence, focusing on the data with positive conclusions. It aimed to objectively reflect the fact that the different conclusions made by IARC and USEPA were resulted from the different data they used in their evaluations.
